BBC's Sherlock: Series 2

[TheVileOne]

Can't believe they are doing a fourth. But glad to hear it.

So, while we wait, what do people think about the following?
1.) Is Moriarty still alive?
2.) Irene Adler. Do we think they'll use her again, and how? I for one was surprised she wasn't included in Moriarty's "I'll kill the ones you care about the most." But I suppose that just means that Sherlock even fooled him about her "death." Though after Sherlocks "death," I wonder if she'll try to contact John?
3.) Obviously, Sherlock faking his demise. I've read lots of theories, but most of them seem somewhat plausible. Does anyone have any favorites?

Moffat stated that Moriarty's arc is over; hence the decision to create new villains for this series.

That's good...because Moriarty was freaking annoying.

 

[TheVileOne]

Was never crazy about Moriarty in seasons 1 and 2, so I don't mind seeing a new villain.

Rule number one. Moffat lies.

I wasn't a huge fan of Moriarty in Season 1, but I really enjoyed his performance in The Riechenbach fall. And I'm also slightly skeptical about him actually being dead. But I wouldn't mind it if he was.

How about Irene? Anyone else think she'll have any further roles to play?

I doubt it. With that said, I am happy she is out of the picture, as bringing her back would undermine the ending of 'A Scandal in Belgravia,' which is one of the best. In regards to Moffat lying, I agree that it is a possibility, but, explaining his survival would be more difficult than Sherlock's (perchance the gas from 'Hounds'?)

Moriarty was amazing. I loved that they created the perfect super villain to Sherlock for the period this takes place in. Makes sense, and the actor was beyond great.

I don't know if it would undermine it. I mean, Sherlock obviously saved her, and I don't see her being able to stay away from him forever. I'm very interested to see if his "death" will bring her out of hiding in some way.

And it certainly would be hard to explain, but then, we are talking about one of the two most brilliant men in the world here. I don't know if it would be the fear gas though. Since Sherlock has experienced it once, I feel like he would be able to recognize the effects.

Sherlock resumes filming this august now that Freeman has wrapped up The Hobbit.

 

[Teelie]

Good news to hear. I've been hoping they'd resume work soon.

Cumberbatch said last night on Top Gear that he thinks the show could be shown at the end of this year still or at the least early next year.
